What's your curse? and your special talent?
 

A local radio "personality" was saying that their curse is new TV series. Each season she gets into a few new shows, and every single one she gets into gets cancelled. My curse is gas prices. When I fill up, the gas price immediatley drops 20c. If I need to fill but am late and have no time to stop, the price jumps 20c before I start my journey home.

My special talent, though, is finding needles in haystacks. If you lose something tiny in an impossible place, I will find it, and pretty quickly. Recently, I 've found a tiny (eyeglasses) screw on a huge grey "sculptured" carpet, and a regular-sized bolt on a half mile stretch of road.

finding things
 

My glasses came off in the ocean and I found them. Really. But that wasn't luck, I immediately devised a system and stuck to it. It worked.

My wife's nose ring came off at Whole Foods. I went immediately to the place where we had dawdled around the most - in front of the beer section. It was there, on the ground. She was impressed.

That said, I can't seem to find a pair of scissors when I need one.

But my special talent/curse isn't finding things, it's Asperger's.

Regarding finding scissors, we solved that one by buying more until we reached saturation point.

(my finding skill isn't "luck" either, but don't tell anyone.....)

I can "read" people... get to the root of their personality, very quickly.
Acting came very naturally to me, I discovered the objective/obstacle, both internal and external in characters within a few lines for most plays while others were just discovering the plot.
I do this in life too.
Superstitious people think I'm psychic when they talk to me about themselves... it's very annoying because I could care less.

and your talent...?

My special talent is only a curse to people who just can't *get* the bagpipes.:cool:

The same was stated for both. True man.

My curse is money, lately. The more I make, the less I have. I'm not spending it on anything new, I just have something stupid come up. My friend lost his job and has been on my couch for two months, when i had just gotten a new job.

Uh, talent? Well, interesting things happen around me. Just completely weird and unnatural shit, all the time and it's annoying. Sometimes good, sometimes bad... I just wish I was bored sometimes.:neutral:

No, you can't. Hate to be the one to tell you.

My curse is causing the companies I work for to be taken over. It makes references tricky sometimes.

My first ever job was working Saturdays and Sundays at a family run restaurant. I lost my job when they closed - the restaurant was bought out by Deep Pan Pizza (where I worked next) but sadly they are still there.

I then worked part time for a frozen food company called Bejam. They were sold out to Iceland with a year of me leaving.

My first full time job was at Equitable Life Assurance Society. They were doing so well they had 2 buildings built especially for them and rented another 3. After I left things went downhill pretty quickly - to the extent that they are being sued by some of their customers (complicated financial stuff). I'm not even sure if they have an office here now.

I also went to work for a newly purchased off-shoot of a marketing company. I was employed in Thame, Oxon and moved to London to work on Sloane Street. I got homesick after a few months and moved back. The off-shoot closed within a year, although it had been running for 10 before it was bought up.

My favourite ever job was at Dr Solomons Software. They were bought out by Network Associates (our biggest rival for the UK market) and effectively eaten.

And finally I worked for Leicester City West PCT. We merged with Eastern Leicester PCT and many of the management team who knew me were shuffled off to other PCTs or simply made redundant.

My talent is finding food. It's partly just having a good memory - someone will mention something they like, haven't had for ages, doubt still exists. Weeks or months later I will see it and buy it for them. I've already surprised HM by having things he craves in the store cupboard. Actually my bro did it to me the other day - I was yapping away on the phone and said how I really fancied a Time Out but they seemed to have stopped selling them. He sent me one in the post - choked me up.

That helps me to understand you man. Thanks.

I would not be surprised if many of us here are semi-Aspergerish.

ass burgers? :yum:

I thought it was asshats. I just can't keep up with all the changes in the slang.

my curse is smelling BS. It's also my special talent.

wait....i meant....my talent is believing my own bs.

I'm like you monster- I can find anything lost on a whim. This is also my curse because it seems too uncanny that I could find a lost item so quickly. This makes it look like I misplaced it or tried to steal it....So I have decided only recently to quit helping.

This happened for the first time in memory when I was about 10, and I recovered my grandmother's wallet. (It was behind her drunk, I mean, wet bar) From that moment on I should have recognized that this kind of uncanny talent is a curse and could get me in trouble.....
:p

Haha. I also have the finding talent. Even now, from time to time my ex will call up in distress having lost something important (a wallet full of cash, a telephone number on a scrap of paper, a pen-drive) and I'll end up down his house helping him look.

I tend to be better at finding other peoples' stuff....and I don't have to have been in the house before, or be at all familiar with my surroundings. I think I just understand what happens to 'stuff' in the course of a day and the kinds of places it settle in :P

My curse is generally being able to see both sides of an argument. Does my mates' heads in from time to time. When one of them is angry at someone and expressing that to me, it isn't always helpful to start putting the other person's point, or explaining the other person's actions to them...

LOL! Thanks for that.

That explains a lot. :eyebrow:

My special talent is my biting, acerbic sense of humor.

My curse is that I end up using it around people who end up finding it offensive and/or insulting.

I can touch my tongue over the tip of my nose. I used to also be able to lick my own boobs, but I can't really do that anymore.

That was all I needed.

My curse is that I have an invisible-to-me indicator of some kind that says to people "This is is a good listener and doesn't mind if you spend the next 45 minutes telling him your life story or about how the person you're dating is an idiot but you still love him/her." The worst part is that this indicator must hide my give-a sh!t meter, because they go on and on and my meter is at 0.

My talent is recall of trivia. Many kinds. For little if any good reason.

ooooh...good one. i think i have that too. mine comes with a crazy guy lure built in too.

Curse, I am a nut-magnet.
So is my wife.
Crazy people are attracted to each of us. When we are together it is awful!
There can be 1000 people on a street, the craziest person will make a bee-line for one of us to exorcise their particular fantasy without provocation or prompting of any kind. We can't figure it out or get it to stop.
Our friends and family think it's a hoot.

rk, Is that why you're attracted to each other?

Refuge from the nuts? I don't know.

Umm... that would be one interpretation of HLJ's question. :cool:

""With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-man."

I guess my curse/talent, is that I have a "listening" ability as well. I think I should have desk plate that I can change from - Secretary, Psychiatrist, Counselor and Problem Solver. All the guys here at work, tell me almost everything, our vendors/salespeople, will sit in my office and talk to me for over 30 mins or more. Even my UPS guy will chit chat, much longer than necessary. It's no biggie, though, it's actually kind of funny - Almost every report card I received in elementary & middle school - stated that I was "Too Talkative", oh well.:)

I think it's funny (funny-strange, not funny ha-ha) that more than a couple of dwellars think they are magnets for people who need to vent/dump/unload, etc. I always felt like people sought me out to vent--listen to their life fucking story--and I HATED it. Where were all you perfect sympathetic listeners when I needed you, huh? It seems to me the world has more of the "need to vent" kind than the "sweet listener" kind.

My curse---being me.

My talent---making being me tolerable.

They didn't say they were sympathetic... they just said people dumped on them!:blah:

I was SO there for you.

Guilty.....sorry :blush:

Aw--I'm just bitchy from pain. Pay no attention!

SteveDallas--you're on notice!

;)

I know. And I just used you.

I feel so dirty now. :D

I'm good at listening..... for about two minutes. But if you're not done with your summary by then, you're obviously not in desperate enough need for the answer :p

Pffft. I've been "on notice" so long I forgot what it's like to be off.

Well. I could try to get you off.

Are you sure that would be safe?

I do have curse - it concerns cars - no matter what, if something can go wrong in a car, it will with me.

I have had 2 - to catch on fire (while I was driving)

1 - that 3 of the 5 lugs came off (while I was driving) wtf - is that racket? DOH - better pull over, can ya feel that?

Driving down the interstate, (road work going on), one of those "big barrels" was in my lane. Not because the lane was blocked, but I believe someone had hit it earlier, driving to fast as usual - I veered over into the “emergency lane”, but instead of hitting the brake, I hit the gas. There was a decent amount of gravel in that area for whatever reason I turned the wheel a little sharp (got nervous) and started spinning in circles, at least 3 times. That was exciting.

Several more, but those are the highlights.

I dont think that would be hard

Finding the G-spot.
Talent... curse when you have done it consistently for few days on a psycho.

does it move around or something? i mean.....once you find it....?

It can be a bit different and needs different treatment with different women.

I'll say!

....just wondering -are you a formenr urologist or gynacologist? I know you're multi-talented/experienced, but can't remember if it extends to the medical field? Otherwise why would you be finding the g-spots of lots of psychos? Hazard of the modelling industry?

I did not do much modeling... I was an actor. Yes, major hazard of acting.

sorry, mybad -I thought you said modelling in metaforum, but I would not be remotely surprised if i misread -I'm knackered.

must have been quite a party

I have been studying sex since I was a kid... call it a hobby.
I have been to some serious parties. Benifits of acting are few, but they did make-up for a lot of the BS.

There is a fun thing you can do...
Put her pelvis up on a pillow, so she is "up" at an angle, don't fully penetrate when you are at your hardest and she is about ready, then press and rotate your thumb between her pelvic bone and her navel, where her g-spot is, pressing it between your penis and your thumb.
Use short, quick, strokes with your penis while you massage with your thumb from the outside... gently but firmly.
This should stimulate her G-spot from both sides, and with two different directions.
It gets results if your aim is good.

ok, did I just log into drsex.com?

No... I'll take it off if you want.

it's ok. I don't care if it's there or not. Others might find it a bit confronting though.

Meh.....not me :)

yes well...we know you're a sex goddess ducksy. ;)

Dunno bout that, I just a dirty slurry :)

sluzza :alien:

No ladies...you are missing RK's point. It is ok now to have sex with someone before you intend to create a baby. Unless it is a psycho. You may still be a slut...but if Rk's done it....

Rk finally admits that he might have engaged in such activities?
